Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of generator brush holders, in particular to a brush holder cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Generators use a lot of carbon brushes, and each generator is installed with 48 and 24 carbon brushes respectively. During operation, electrical operators generally conduct regular inspections and conduct special inspections on the carbon brushes to see if their length meets the requirements, whether the spring pressure is normal, whether the carbon brushes are flexible in the brush holder, and whether they are stuck. After a long period of exploration, it was found that the sparking of generator carbon brushes is mostly related to poor contact of the carbon brushes. The main reasons for poor contact are sticking, reduced pressure, and shortened size. If the carbon brush is stuck, it will naturally cause the pressure of the carbon brush to decrease, which will eventually cause uneven current. Stuck carbon brushes are more likely to spark. In the long run, it will not only burn the generator slip rings and affect the service life of the generator slip rings, but also reduce the load, affect the power generation, and bring negative impacts to the company's economy and benefits. Figure 4 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the brush holder structure of an existing generator, where a brush holder fixing part 10 is provided on one side wall of the brush holder 9. The brush holder fixing part 10 is fixed to the motor by bolts.

[0003] By analyzing the problem that the generator carbon brush is prone to getting stuck during use, a simple and practical brush holder cleaning device is made, which is simple, economical, safe, practical, efficient and has a long service life. Utility Model Content

[0021] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment discloses a brush holder cleaning device, including a fixed cylinder 8, the top of the fixed cylinder 8 is a closed structure, and the bottom is an open structure. A metal block 5 is arranged in the fixed cylinder 8, and a push rod 2 is arranged on the top of the metal block 5. The push rod 2 is movably inserted into the top cover of the fixed cylinder 8.

[0023] A scraper 6 is provided at the bottom of the metal block 5, the outer edge of the scraper 6 is larger than the outer edge of the metal block 5, the metal block 5 and the scraper 6 are slidably arranged in the cavity of the fixed cylinder 8, and the outer edge of the scraper 6 is slightly smaller than the inner wall diameter of the brush holder 9. The four sides of the scraper 6 are free of edges and corners and polished to prevent scratching the brush holder.

[0024] The end of the push rod 2 away from the fixed cylinder 8 is provided with a device handle 1. The push rod 2 is fixedly connected with a positioning rod 3, and a spring 4 is provided on the push rod 2, one end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 3, and the other end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the top cover of the fixed cylinder 8.

[0025] The positioning rod 3 is a right-angled Z-shaped rod structure. The positioning rod 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the push rod 2. The two right-angled short arms of the positioning rod 3 face the direction of the fixed cylinder 8. When pressed, the two right angles of the positioning rod 3 limit the maximum pressing stroke and play a protective role, avoiding damage to the motor due to operational errors.

[0026] The fixed cylinder 8 is provided with a cylinder handle 7. The top cover of the fixed cylinder 8 is provided with a reserved hole 8-1 for movably plugging with the push rod 2, and the hole diameter of the reserved hole 8-1 is larger than the rod diameter of the push rod 2. When it is necessary to focus on cleaning the side wall in a certain direction, just use your hand to slightly apply force in that direction to make the push rod 2 slightly tilted.

[0027] In this embodiment, the fixing cylinder 8 is manufactured according to the size of the generator carbon brush and the brush holder 9. The inner diameter of the fixing cylinder 8 is 31mm*25mm, the thickness is 2.5mm, and the height is 60mm. The front, rear, left, and right sides of the metal block 5 are 4mm smaller than the fixing cylinder 8 respectively. The scraper 6 is 2mm thick and the front, rear, left, and right sides are 2mm larger than the metal block 5 respectively.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the action process of the utility model is as follows:

[0029] First, hold the barrel handle 7 and align the device with the brush holder 9, press the device handle 1, and the scraper 6 is pressed into the cavity of the brush holder 9 to rub and clean the inner wall. After pressing, release the pressure, and the spring 4 squeezed by the positioning rod 3 and the top cover of the fixed barrel 8 will reset, driving the scraper 6 to reset, and repeat the above pressing process to complete the cleaning action. When pressing, the two right angles of the positioning rod 3 limit the maximum stroke of pressing, which plays a protective role and avoids damage to the motor caused by operating errors.

[0030] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
